TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY

All is going great!! I played Tuesday vs. a Turkish lady. Pretty nice strokes but not in great shape so I took advantage of that!!! I won 6-2, 6-0. No doubles today so I hung out watched all the other Americans play their matches and got a great massage!! The massages here in Turkey are out of this world!!! I also played yesterday, Wednesday vs. the #2 player from Great Britain. I knew she was a good player since she played on their Cup Team and had some good wins. I warmed up well and was ready to go. I started the match well with a break of service. Her serve was good so I was happy to break her right away. From then on I played very consistent used my agility and speed and made her hit alot of balls!!! She made some unforced errors on some key points and I won the first set 6-3. The second set was easy at first. She made alot of unforced errors on her forehand side, so of course she kept seeing alot of forehands!!! I went up 4-0 quickly. She had a good service game and won the next game to make it 4-1. I rallied back to take a 5-2 lead and several match points. She played loose and went for some fh winners and got back to 5-3. I finally closed out the match after about 5 match points!!! Good win and I now have advanced into the Quarter finals. I play the #3 seed today, the #1 player from Australia. It will be a tough match. She is 5 11" and hits the ball hard. Likes to come in alot, so I will need to keep that ball deep so she does not get to the net as much!!! My partner and I are in the quarters of the doubles also and will play at 4:30 pm!! Last night at the Club we had 3 four legged creatures on site!! Camels!! My friends decided to take a ride on one!! It was too funny!! I will post some pictures later today since I am getting ready to go on the court for my match.
